What is a flour and water paste batik?

Flour and water paste batik is a traditional fabric dyeing technique that uses a paste made from flour and water to resist dye on fabric. The paste is applied to the fabric in intricate designs, creating patterns that remain uncolored when the fabric is submerged in dye. Once the dyeing process is complete, the paste is removed, revealing the original fabric color in the areas where the paste was applied. This method is often used for creating unique and vibrant textile art.
